Our new home in the country...

Jan 09, 2005 13 Replies

If anyone's curious about where I moved to (we moved in September from San Antonio to Boerne, TX, about 30 min away), I have the photos posted that we took before we moved in. The house is approx. 110 years old without central air or heat but it has a gorgeous back yard, 9 pecan trees, 1 fig tree, 1 enormous palm tree (one of only 3 in the town, all planted around the same time) and a wonderful front porch. Anyway the pictures are up on my website at

You can just look at the thumbnails or click on them to see larger photos. Oh, and the one of the lizard we named Big Henry. He was living on the front porch when we moved in... Unfortunately Big Henry's life was short-lived once we moved in with 4 cats... :( -CC



I can sure see why you moved that place has a lot of charm and the yard sounds devine with all the nut trees.

Looks like a lovely place CC. Hope you have great times and make wonderful memories there. :)

That is absolutly gorgeous CC!!!

I love old houses. Our's was built at the turn of the century. Nothing fancy,but lots of character!:>)

I hope you will also let us see what you have done with such a charming place!

Looks gorgeous! I love that part of Texas.

It's a cute little house with so much potential. I can't imagine a house without heat living in Canada and presently freezing my butt off with the furnace running on high. LOL I love the front porch. I've always wanted one. The garden looks interesting too. So much you can do with it. It's a very cozy looking house.

Wow CC! What a wonderful old house!! I am partial to old houses as well. Our house is over 100 years also. Your yard sounds so neat. Sorry to hear about the lizzard (oops) Cats do seem to love to go after those. Thanks for sharing!

What a great house. I bet the yard will be wonderful in the summer with all those trees to shade it. I like the vine growing up the side of the house.

I can't wait to see what you guys do with it, CC! I love old houses. There's just something about them that draws me. Mom & I love driving around looking at the old houses when she's visiting!

I love your home - it seems very comforting. I love older houses and would love to buy an old farmhouse and restore it. Doubt it will ever happen though. Can't say I like the lizard:o)

I like the house. I really like the old fashion claw foot tub, one of my wants for our house when we get one. Poor big Henry.

OOOOhhhhh, I am an old house lover too. How charming. You can have a lot of fun with that one. Congrats on the new place and welcome back.
